Description
Trease and Evans is the encyclopaedic reference work on pharmacognosy - the study of those natural substances, principally plants, that find a use in medicine. Its popularity and longevity stem from the books balance between classical (crude and powdered drugs characterization and examination) and modern (phytochemisty and pharmacology) aspects of this branch of science, as well as the editors recognition in recent years of the growing importance of complementary medicines, including herbal, homeopathic and aromatherapy.
